the dance

unchaining the ties that bind us to past pain.
freedom reigns in places unseen by the human eyes,
yet felt with the open heart.

cries calling out for freedoms swift arms of truth and justice
to smile upon our lives.
do we dare step into the spot light of honesty?

can one speak eloquently enough to he heard past the veil of years,
even generations of lies?
lines of defense, barricades of protection,
surrounding the mind, the heart, the touch of a human hand.

hands that god meant as gifts for pleasure,
sweet sensations of soft textures,
used instead to banish the living from grace.

pushing others out of our gardens,
the apples half eaten lie in wait for the vultures to pick apart from the inside-out.

outside-in we must peal away the egos tight grasp.
soothing each layer as we gently rip open the vortex's,
revealing gods luminescent rainbow light.

so bright as it radiates from our beings,
often causing others to shield their eyes and again the dance begins
- hands, arms, words, pushing, shoving,
the soft textures of mercy and grace out of the garden.
the apple shrinking, smaller and smaller as the life fades into another dimension.

time plays a part,
in lessons longed for,
generation to generation.
let me be the bridge.

peace.

The only reality is truth. The only truth is love.

A cosmic trigger event is occurring
on the 17th of October 2006
=========================
=

This is the beginning, one of many trigger events to come between now
and 2013. An ultraviolet (UV) pulse beam radiating from higher dimensions in universe-2 will cross paths with the Earth on this day. Earth will
remain approximately within this UV beam for 17 hours of your time.

This beam resonates with the heart chakra, it is radiant fluorescent in
nature, blue/magenta in color. Although it resonates in this frequency
band, it is above the color frequency spectrum of your universe-1 which you, Earth articulate in. However due to the nature of your soul and soul groups operating from Universe-2 frequency bands it will have an effect.

The effect is every thought and emotion will be amplified intensely one
million-fold. Yes, we will repeat, all will be amplified one millions time and more.

Every thought, every emotion, every intent, every will, no matter if it
is good, bad, ill, positive, negative, will be amplified one million times in strength.

What does this mean ?

Since all matter manifest is due to your thoughts, i.e. what you focus
on, this beam will accelerate these thoughts and solidify them at an
accelerated rate making them manifest a million times faster than they normally would.

For those that do not comprehend. Your thoughts, what you focus on
create your reality. This UV beam thus can be a dangerous tool. For if you are focused on thoughts which are negative to your liking they will manifest into your reality almost instantly. Then again this UV beam can be a gift if you choose it to be.

Mission-1017 requires approximately one million people to focus on
positive, benign, good willed thoughts for themselves and the Earth and
Humanity on this day. Your thoughts can be of any nature of your choosing, but remember whatever you focus on will be made manifest in a relatively faster than anticipated time frame. To some the occurrences may almost be bordering on the miracle.

All we ask is positive thoughts of love, prosperity, healing, wealth, kindness, gratitude be focused on.

This UV beam comes into full affect for 17 hrs on the 17th of October 2006. No matter what time zone you are in the hours are approximately 10:17 am on the 17th of October to 1:17 am on the 18th October. The peak time will be 17:10 (5:10 pm) on the 17th October. You do not need to be in a meditative state through out this time, though would be beneficial. The main key time no matter what time zone you are in will be the peak time of 17:10 (5:10 pm).

Perhaps at this time if you can find a peaceful spot or location to
focus. The optimum is out in the vicinity of grounded nature, likened to
that of a large tree or next to the ocean waves. Focus on whatever it is you desire.

What is required for the benefit of all Earth and Humanity is positive
thoughts of loving nature.

We call this UV beam trigger event, "818" gateway. Please forward this
message to as many people as you know who will use this cosmic trigger
event to focus positive, good willed thoughts. We require approximately
1-million people across globe to actively participate in this event.
Please use whatever communication mediums you have at your disposal. Reach out to as many people as possible. We require 1-million plus people at the least to trigger a shift for humanity from separation and fragmentation to one of unification and oneness. This is your opportunity to take back what is rightfully yours i.e. Peace and Prosperity for all Earth and Mankind.

This is a gift, a life line from your universe so to speak, an answer to
your prayers. What you do with it and whether or not you choose to
participate is your choice.

The only reality is truth.
The only truth is love.

Changes

Working with myself over change.

noticing the slight emotions that come with the tribe shifts. any shifts i suppose.

the corporate chat that tells us what we should pick up out of the change.

the momentary sadness? over noticing small photos - lack of color-images that make the life of each of us jump off the pages. ( "i want a pony!" )

the "tribe is dead"... to this there is some truth - the default world has pressed harder on our "bubble"
i do in some moments miss the primal openness with which seems to have shed its saunter for a more careful approach to sharing. (friends-only)

yet, at the same time it inspires me to see more clearly - that i want to live to my brightest-biggest-fullest-bare naked, bone clear truth in this world.

I hope to see your faces in larger pixels soon. perhaps others feel the same about the swaths of energy that we each express throught these flat, smooth, light textured boxes....or perhaps i'll just have to come visit you. spin some fire, read a poem, hug, laugh, cry and dance under the full moon.

peace to my tribe-mates
for death is an illusion
and love creates all

soulfriend

who comes up with this stuff?

it's beyond me and i just wondered what my tribe family's thoughts are on these type of letters.

again

today i fell in love with
the world

again

singing loudly as it does
in tones of yellow-gold
and burnt-umber
i was seduced to my knees
in sacred prayer

again

loving the sweet caresses
of winds nimble fingers
on my neck
i turn my head to face the sun
dotingly she bathes my new born skin
together they dry my soul
of heavens sleep from the night
we laugh and giggle as we dance
through the day

today i fell in love with
the mother

again

swaddled in blue and green-orange
for miles on end
i stretch my legs across her back
arched just so
to carry me round the bend
to my next exquisite experience

birthing trees majestic in stature
we neander until the mists
carried on the wind
splash my face
refreshing the body gifted me by spirit
swells of clarity follow the mist
lapping the sands of time

i succumb to the desire
plunging headfirst into deep
silky black-blue depths
of liquid love
finding myself

again

pleasantly exhausted by my journey
i relax into my knowing
that this life's blessings are available

again and again and again

i can enjoy suns glory
and winds strength
as i smell flowers bounty and
listen to bird serenade me
whilst i gather trees gifts

i sit here tonight
and marvel the stars brilliance
and moons blessings
warmed by fires love
imagining what tomorrow
may bring my way

again

blessings

to my dear tribe family,
many blessings to you all!
may the light of the new year
fill your hearts and bring
all of your dreams into manifestation.
in peace,
soulfriend

joao de deus and bugion

this is a journal entry form bugion that i felt to share with his permission of course. joao de deus is an amazing healer.

Portland, Oregon
Thursday, December 29, 2005


I used to be a skeptic. Always open to new ideas and concepts, but a skeptic all the same. You had to prove it to me. Not any more. Whatever skepticism was left in me was blown away by my recent experiences with Joao de Deus.

In November, I traveled to Abadiania, a small village in Central Brazil, to visit Joao de Deus, John of God. Joao is an entity healer, a faith healer, and a psychic surgeon. I have wanted to write about my experience with Joao since I left Abadiania, but frankly, I didn’t know where to start.

La Casa de Dom Inacio, is the house that Joao built. It is where medical miracles have become an everyday occurrence. The Casa, as it is fondly referred to, is an unassuming collection of concrete buildings. They are painted white inside and out with a light blue stripe extending from the floor to about 40 inches up the walls.

Every morning and afternoon, from Wednesday through Friday, the hopeful assemble in Joao’s waiting room. Some are seeking miracle cures for conditions that can’t be cured by modern medical science, some for more minor conditions, and yet others for spiritual purposes. Many are critically ill or suffering from terminal conditions.

They are young and old, married couples, singles, grown children with aged parents, and parents with child in arms. They have come from all over Brazil and the world. Half a dozen languages can be heard, whispered throughout the room. All are dressed in white, and all have hope, yet there is an undercurrent of quiet desperation. You can see it in the eyes of those assembled, especially in those of the parents who have brought their seriously ill, young children to see Joao, The Miracle Man.

Joao is a medium, and for two sessions a day, three days a week, he incorporates one or more of the thirty-three spiritual entities that work through him. As he incorporates and the entity enters his body, you can see a change in his demeanor, in the way that he carries himself, and even in the color of his eyes. Each entity has a distinct personality and mannerisms.

Joao will see and treat several hundred to several thousand people per day. As the hopeful file past the incorporated Joao with their medical and spiritual requests, the entity will assign a treatment. For some it will be an herbal regimen, or crystal baths, or meditation in the Current Rooms. For others, it will be a surgical operation.

There are two types of surgery performed at The Casa, invisible, and visible.
Invisible surgery is performed by the entities entering the physical body of the patient and surgically repairing whatever is wrong. Once the entity is in the patient’s body, it can and will perform up to nine operations at a time, sometimes surgically repairing more than the patient requested.

Besides the entity incorporated by Joao, there can be many entities working in the surgery room at the same time. Operations on hundreds of people can be performed simultaneously, and within minutes.

Visible surgeries are more complex, and are personally performed by the incorporated Joao. During these surgeries, Joao actually takes blade to flesh, sometimes a scalpel, sometimes a kitchen knife, and sometimes an 8” long hemostat. His surgical tools are not sterilized; there are no latex gloves, and no sterile fields, yet there has not been a single case of sepsis or infection reported by any of his patients. There is no anesthesia, yet there is no pain. The incisions bleed very little, and when he is done, the incisions are stitched up with a common household needle and thread. During the surgery, the incorporated entity is in total control. Sometimes, Joao is not even looking at what he is doing, hands making incisions or probing inside the patient’s body as the physical Joao looks around or stares off into space. Each patient between the ages of 18 and 52 can choose the type of surgery that they will have. For those younger or older, visible surgery is not an option.

When the surgery is completed, the patient is sent off to the recovery room until the psychic anesthesia wears off. While there, post-surgical instructions are given, including dietary restrictions, no exercise, no alcohol, no body or energy work, and no sex for 40 days. The patient is also informed that in the early morning hours of the fifth day following surgery, the entities will come to remove the stitches. Herbs are then prescribed, and the patient is sent back to his or her hotel for 24 hours of bed rest.

My request of the entities was that they do some work on my left leg to alleviate a condition of persistent swelling caused by an earlier severe infection. I also asked them to help strengthen my lower back, which has been causing me problems for years. I was directed to the operating room for an invisible surgery.

It was Black Madonna Day, a Brazilian national holiday, and there were several thousand people at The Casa. It was standing room only in the operating room and I was standing. I found a place against a wall, closed my eyes, and waited for something to happen. I stood there for a little more than fifteen minutes, and the only thing that I noticed was that my lower back became extremely weak and painful. Usually, my back doesn’t bother me while I’m standing for short periods of time.

Then, we were informed that the surgeries were complete, and we were directed into the recovery room and given the post surgical instructions. We were also told to take a taxi back to our hotels. No way, I thought, I don’t need a taxi, my hotel is only two blocks away. As I headed for the gate, I realized that I was feeling extremely light headed and dizzy, and I was having trouble walking a straight line. It felt like I had very recently been under anesthesia. I stumbled to a taxi, and then into my hotel. As soon as I hit the bed, I was out until late afternoon.

For the next 24 hours, I did nothing but sleep, with short periods of reading or listening to music. At the end of the 24-hour period, I got out of bed with the intention of walking down the street to the café. I needed food. As I left the hotel, I realized that I was very unsteady on my feet, very weak, and had almost no endurance. It definitely felt like I was post-surgical. I barely made it to the café, and settled in to eat, read, and converse with those around me.

During the next four days, I spent 2 sessions a day meditating in one of Joao’s two Current Rooms. The sessions lasted for 2-3 hours each. During those meditations I experienced some very intense visions.

The job of the people sitting in meditation in the outer Current Room is to scrub negative energy off of people as they walk through on their way to see Joao and the entities. The inner “Entity Room” functions as a psychic battery for the entities.

On the night of the fifth day after surgery, I dressed in white and got in bed before midnight, as instructed. The entities were coming to remove my stitches. I awoke about 4:00 am. Both of my arms were stretched out over my head and felt like they were being held down. Both of my feet felt similarly restrained and it felt like there was a pair of hands rummaging around in my guts near the site of an older, previous surgical incision. The sensation was decidedly uncomfortable. Then, suddenly it was over and I drifted back to sleep.

The following day, I went back before Joao to have my surgery checked out. It was decided that I needed a surgical revision, and I was directed back to the operating room. Once in the room, I was directed to a chair. As soon as I sat down, a searing pain started to shoot up and down through my lower left leg from knee to ankle. This pain continued for about five minutes. Suddenly, the pain stopped, and the woman who was monitoring the room looked at me and said, “You can go.” My surgical process was complete.

When I first arrived at The Casa, I was told that it could take up to six months for me to see any real results from my surgery. During the forty-day post-surgical period, I would have sworn that there was no change in my conditions. In the case of my lower back, I would have said that it was actually worse. However, I now think that weakness was caused more by the 40 days of no exercise. Now, at more than two months post-Joao, I think that my back is getting stronger and that the swelling in my lower leg is starting to lessen. I also think that the pain that I felt in my stomach when the entities came to remove my stitches, was the entities removing scar tissue from that earlier surgical procedure. I now feel like I have a little more elasticity in that area.

The entities do more than just perform medical procedures. They seem to have their hand in everything that goes on in Abadiania. They also seem to know everything that happens in town.

One of the treatments prescribed by the entities is a visit to the Healing Waterfalls. In order to go to the Falls, one must have a written prescription from the entity or be with someone who has a prescription. There are hundreds of people at The Casa on a daily basis and there is no way that Joao or anyone else at The Casa could keep track of or know who was with whom or in what group, yet when one person from a group asks permission to go to the waterfall, permission is always given for the entire number of the group plus one.

An Australian man, that I met, post-surgically got involved in a heated telephone sex session with his girl friend. The session went to its inevitable conclusion. Forty days, no sex. The next morning, the incorporated Joao called him on it in public. “You are not obeying the rules, why should I help you?” Then he tacked on another 21 days of no sex to the man’s recovery period.

I met many people that were visiting The Casa for the second, third, or fourth times. One, a French woman, was visiting for the third time. Her first visit to The Casa was three years ago. At that time, she was suffering from full-blown AIDS. Now, she was HIV/AIDS free and accompanied by her infant daughter, who was also HIV free. There has been over thirty cases of AIDS reported cured at The Casa.

A Canadian woman, suffering from MS was at The Casa for the second time. Although her MS was not cured after her first visit, the disease has not progressed. She was already making plans for her third visit.

As I sat in one of the cafes or restaurants, I met many other people who had experienced cures. I also overheard many conversations by people relating their medical conditions and progress. There are definitely medical miracles happening in Abadiania.

"boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

Until one is committed,
there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.

Concerning all acts of initiative
(and creation)
there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which
kills countless ideas and splendid plans:
That the moment one
definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one
that would never have otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues
from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner
of unforseen incidents
and meetings and material assistance,
which no man could have dreamed
would have come his way.

I have learned a deep respect
for one of Goethe's couplets:
"Whatever you can do,
or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius,
power and magic in it."
